NASHVILLE, Feb. 10, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Christian television channel NRBTV will provide exclusive television coverage of Presidential Candidate Forums to take place during the Proclaim 16 NRB International Christian Media Convention in Nashville, TN on February 23-26. The forums are scheduled daily at 1:00p.m. local time at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center and will be broadcast nightly in primetime at 8:00p.m. ET and again at 9:00p.m. PT on DIRECTV channel 378. The broadcasts will also be streamed online at www.nrbtv.org, on Roku and Fire TV players, or via NRBTV's free mobile app for iPhone, iPad, Android, or Windows Phone.

Candidates from both major parties were invited to participate in the Presidential Candidate Forums. To date, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson have confirmed for Friday, Feb. 26. Additional confirmations are expected for Tuesday, Feb. 23, and Wednesday, Feb. 24, and will be announced at a later date.

Each candidate will be interviewed on-stage for one hour by panelists on issues of importance to the evangelical community. The panel will be moderated by New York Times best-selling author and nationally-syndicated radio host Eric Metaxas.

"We believe our audience is interested in learning more about where the candidates stand on issues of spiritual and cultural importance," said NRBTV president & CEO Troy A. Miller. "A central part of our mission is to help people think more deeply about their Christian faith and how to apply God's Word to all spheres of life. This is just another way of serving our viewers in that regard."
